I’m R. T. Rybak and I’m the Mayor of Minneapolis. The sculpture garden always reminds me of being just a kid in Minneapolis who if I wasn’t so lucky to be born here might never have had my eyes opened to incredible art.

And so my wife and I went with our kids and we would play in the sculpture garden, go out and participate in it. So we would stand underneath Hatcher’s Prophesy of the Ancients and tell the kids it was a giant brain that would translate really big stuff into their brains and you know actually I think it worked because our kids wound up being a lot smarter than us.

Narrator: A brain? Or something else entirely?

I went over there and there was like a gazebo with a wire on top and I really like that it was like a reverse nest, had all the things in it so it was really neat.

Narrator: Whatever you think the sculpture represents, the little objects that populate its dome cry out for a scavenger hunt.

We were admiring the turtles and the ladders and alligators. It’s a lot of fun things to find up there, so

What’s your favorite part about this sculpture? What do you like? Ummm the turtle. The turtle is your favorite part? Yeahh Yeaaaaah.
